I'm not really in the mood for a nice story atm. But maybe you are (feel free to write something. If it's good, I'll add it to the description )

~WatcherCCGOn a moon of an earthlike planet, two explorers chart the perilous polar region in preparation for expansion. Another moon blots out the sun, casting an eerie twilight over the arctic world, as the planet looms in the sky, sharing in the eclipse.

The silent and mysterious life of the drifter; a life that few people wish to assume. To wander aimlessly from place to place without any actual agenda, with the exception of your own personal goals. To have no place to call your own and to be doomed to wander the landscape until the cold hand of death prepares to take you from this world to the next is a thought that must always burn through your mind with each and every passing step on each and every single day. Truly, a life of solitude is a daunting and mentally toiling ordeal that strains your mind each and every moment. Wayfarer, created by the ever so talented `taenaron, gives us a visual insight on the life of one rather unfortunate traveler who must make his way through a frozen wasteland on his own without anyone to assist him. Such a strong emotional pull from the image to the viewer should be more than enough to draw one in, but its `taenaron's signature style and detail placement is the genuine deal sealer on this piece above all else.

As with many of his previous deviations, the planetary atmosphere and as well as the nearby celestial bodies are well done. They each have their own rather subtle details and entice the eye to explore every single part of their almost phantom like hemispheres for signs of life and mysteries. This style gives the entire area a feeling of being closed off from the rest of the universe, as if the subject is walking through an area that he is doomed to repeat over and over throughout his mysterious journey.

The snow falling is a nice touch to the entire piece which ads more the feeling of isolation and loneliness that the subject must be feeling. The faint person in the background could be a representation of what one feels like as they make their way through the world like this, as if everywhere they go it feels like they are leaving behind shadows of their former selves, until nothing is left but a cold, emotionless figure who's only goal is to move from one place to the next.

I must say, thinking about the story behind the piece does add more to it, however there are still some things that could be fixed about it. For one, the atmosphere seems a bit pixelated and fuzzy in some places. Its almost as if it was stretched at the last moment. The whole appearance of the piece feels as though it could be a bit clearer or sharper in appearance but instead it just has this fuzzy haze about it. Whether this was intentional or not, it needs a bit of refinement.

Adding this to the many outstanding pieces to `taenaron's repertoire, gives us more to look at while at the same times gives him something else in his craft to refine. Nice work either way man.

I love the look of the landscape and the contrasting colors. Really fantastic work here.

Also a very fitting song for this is playing on my MP3 player as I look at this; right at the 6 minute mark of the 'Winter Contingency' suite from the Halo: Reach soundtrack. Fitting for both the name, and the actual music playing.

sometimes I have this moment when another one of your creations appear, and i'm like, forget this, again?! ALL off your works are awesome, these are just the same awesomeness... and ultimately I than seem to just don't watch it. But then one of these comes a long, and is just too freaking pretty to ignore, and yes, I end up favouring one of your pieces AGAIN.

dude, you're filling up my favourite page, it is almost getting crowded

if only there were a button that would let me favourite your entire gallery....Would be much easier
